GENERAL FACTS about ASAD
Hydraulics
• Up to 1000 nodes per system • Maximum of 50 systems per project • Runoff computed using the rational method • Rainfall Intensity using IDF curves or user defined curves • Full and partial flows supported • Computes backwater curve with junction and exit loss options • Roadway spread analysis using HEC-22 method • Time of concentration worksheet, TR-55 and Kinematic wave.
Automatic Calculations
• Pipe sizing • Pipe lengths (structure center-to-center & actual quantity lengths) • Inlet / Top / Grate elevations • Onsite drainage areas • Pipe invert elevations
Plans Production
• Drainage structure cross-sections drawn • Storm sewer drawn in plan view • Profile view of storm sewer with hydraulic and energy grade lines • Cross section pattern lines drawn at each node location. These lines may be used
by other software such as GEOPAK to generate the existing and proposed roadway cross sections.
• Drawings annotated to user specifications • All plans production tools draw directly into Intergraph/MicroStation CAD format
files (*.dgn)
Reports
• Storm sewer hydraulic tabulation • Summary of drainage structures - draw into CAD or export to spreadsheet • Inlet spread/intercept/bypass analysis report • Time of concentration worksheet • Underground utility conflicts • Profile elevation report • Storm sewer cost analysis

CREATING A NEW PROJECT
1) Create the new project database (OTS.MDB) from the ASAD seed database (SEEDv3.MDB) using pulldown File>New Project
Figure 1
2) Enter the ‘New Database Name’ 3) Select the ‘Seed File Name’. Typically SEEDv3.MDB
Figure 2
4) Open the new project database (OTS.MDB). Use pulldown File>Open Project and select the file.

ASAD – Online Training Series Version 3.x.x
OPTION SETTINGS
1) Set program options. Use pulldown Options
Figure 7
2) Set the number of monitors using the ‘Monitor’ tab.
Figure 8
3) Turn off the automatic ASAD Master Level List update function. Set the number seconds to 0.
Figure 9
4) Compress CAD file: Turn On (check) both options. ‘Cross Section Cell Coordinate Source’ set to ‘Vertices’.

PROJECT ID
1) Set the Project information using pulldown Project.
Figure 11
2) Set the units (English or Metric) for the project. A change of units takes affect the next time the database is opened.

CREATING A NEW STORM SEWER SYSTEM
1) Use pulldown Edit>Storm Sewer System Add/Delete/Rename to create a new pipe network.
Figure 13
2) Key in the storm sewer system name in the ‘New System’ field and press the ‘Add’ button.
Figure 14
3) Select the new system name as the Active System using the listbox as seen in Figure 15.

BASELINE GEOMETRY
Enter Baseline by Key In 1) Use the Edit/Baseline Geometry pulldown to Key-in baseline data.
Figure 16
2) In the ‘Header’ section, press the ‘Add’ button to enter the name of the baseline. 3) In the ‘Header’ section, enter the ‘Begin Station’ which equates to the station of the first P.I. (first in the ‘Segment’ list).
4) In the ‘Segment’ section, click the ‘Add’ button to create a new P.I. in the segment list. 5) In the ‘Segment’ section, click on the row (from the table) of the segment to be entered. Key in data into North, East and Arc Radius text boxes.

ASAD – Online Training Series Version 3.x.x
Enter Baseline by Importing ASAD can import baseline geometry from GEOPAK. This is a two-step process: First, export the baseline(s) geometry from GEOPAK to a text file.
1) Enter GEOPAK COGO. Make sure you have the correct GEOPAK database (GPK file) open. 2) Key in one of the following lines:
make input file c:\program files\asadv3\baseline.inp cha * make input file c:\program files\asadv3\baseline.inp cha CLCONST
3) Exit GEOPAK Second, in ASAD:
1) Use the File>Import>Geometry from GEOPAK Input Text File pulldown to import baseline data from an ASCII text file.
Figure 18
2) Select the ‘GEOPAK Chains’ tab. 3) ‘Browse’ to select the file to be imported. 4) Highlight the baseline(s), from the ‘Selection’ listbox, to be imported. 5) Click ‘OK’ to execute the import process. Note: If importing a baseline that already exist in the ASAD database then check (ON) the ‘Overwrite existing’ checkbox.
